With its excellent performance and features, the ASRock H87M is a great foundation to build a "Haswell" based system. It's powered by the Intel H87 chipset, and works flawlessly with 4th generation Intel Core processors in an LGA 1150 package. This motherboard is loaded with a wealth of cutting-edge technologies and ASRock innovations for optimized performance and system tuning. You get all-solid capacitors for the best durability, XFast for improved overall system performance, and Home Cloud technology for remote access and control. And paired with proven quality and stability, this unit is the ultimate platform for your next build.

Rating: 5/5Solid mobo

Pros: This mobo can do everything except overclocking, i easily changed my timing and latency on my rams with the great bios. The UEFI is always up to date from the company. Can do update from the bios it self. Tons of customization. Fan speed etc..... Well, lots of reviews state DOA but i got this one in perfect condition, i m maybe lucky but still. Second mobo from ASROCK and as like the first one works great, I m still going to buy from them for a long time.

Rating: 1/5intermittent fail to POST problems

Pros: I can't think of any 'PRO'S' to give to a unit that doesn't work.

Cons: I bought this item for a build. But it took me several weeks to get around to working on the project. Once I got it assembled, I began having some intermittent, pre-POST, turn on/turn off problems. Again, I set the project aside. When I got back to to it, the problem was still intermittent, but was increasingly frequent.

I took the finished computer to my local repair-shop (where I have a good working relationship) and they determined this MB was causing the problem. Of course I can't send it back to NewEgg for a refund because it's past the 30 days...but because of my delays in the build, this MB is still a new unit to me!

So I got burned and now have to buy another new MB. Of course this MB is no longer stocked (likely because of its defects), so my review won't be seen by anyone and serves no purpose other than allowing me to vent some frustration.

So shame on ASRock for this faulty MB...and shame on me for being too busy to work on this project in a timely manner.

Rating: 1/5Incompatible

Pros: Great feature set, looks pretty. Comes in good packaging. Plenty of functional outputs and easy to navigate on the layout.

Cons: CHA_FAN1 dead on arrival.

Other Thoughts: Google this: psa 8 series motherboards

Click on the reddit link.

Notice many of these reviews indicate that people can't get POST to be successful and keep in mind that if you use a haswell refresh processor and have an old BIOS rev on this board, it will not work. No video on the VGA output and no beeps from the speaker. ASRock now charges $15 to update the BIOS because you obviously need a CPU to update it. This is pretty much their way to avoid recalling all their units back and now charge people for a service even though they claim all fourth gen processors are compatible. It's a shame they don't make this knowledge more widespread - I think some of the reviews from after the refreshes were released could be related here. Will not be buying ASRock due to their customer service, I was told the other vendors will update the BIOS free of charge once this is notified to them.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear JP Anders,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.Due to the mainboard has been released before Haswell-R processor, the BIOS update is needed to recognizing the new processor.

However, we do NOT charge if BIOS version is older than to support Haswell-R.

Rating: 1/5Would be a nice board, if it worked

Pros: This is a no frills board for someone looking to put together a basic rig. If you're not looking to OC or do anything fancy, and just want something cheap to tie your components together, this MIGHT be the board for you. This board is nice and small, and seemed to be well put together.

Cons: This board and it's replacement were both DOA. I tried everything I could to get them working (breadboarded and tested with alternate power) but had no luck. The shipping fees on the RMAs were adding up so I went with a different MB instead.

Other Thoughts: I was initially excited for this board, but in the end I could have used the shipping fees for the RMAs to buy a better MB in the first place. Lesson learned. If you do decide to go with this board I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

Rating: 2/5Same Memory Issues as everyone else

Pros: Seems like a great board when it works. I build a put together computers for a living and have been using this board for about 6 months in some of the computers. out of 20 or so computers, I've probably had 5-10 boards fail with the same memory issues others have experienced.

Cons: seems to have a high failure rate with the memory channels. I will now avoid this board.

Rating: 2/5Cannot get Analog Audio Working

Pros: Other than the audio (see cons) this board has been working well since I started using it. It has a good balance of price and features for a budget build. I paired this with a Pentium G3220 and 8 GB RAM and it makes for a very snappy machine running Windows 7 64 bit.

Cons: I CANNOT get the audio to work on this board and am nearly at the point of RMA'ing it. I have tried everything I know, spending multiple days working on this updating drivers, etc. I cannot get any signal from the onboard Realtek audio - the rear panel connections are ghosted out. After browsing multiple support forums, I have found that there are a LOT of people who have problems with the Realtek onboard audio and a RMA usually fixes this. However, I want to make sure I exhaust my options before going that route. I have tried the audio in Win7 and Linux Mint. No success in either OS. Wish there was a way to test it in BIOS.

Other Thoughts: It would be a decent board if it worked properly... For an extra $20 I could just buy an external sound card, but that kind of defeats the purpose for a cheap board

Manufacturer Response:

Dear NeoMoses,

Sorry to hear that the mainboard audio has malfunctioned.Please set the UEFI default.Download and install the audio driver at link " http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H87M/?cat=Download " .Plug the known good speaker at rear audio output (green).If you have any technical issues please contact us at http://www.ASRock.com/support/tsd.asp.

Rating: 1/5not good

Cons: Not much to say about this board, I think ASRocks QA department fell asleep on this one...

Other Thoughts: Purchased this motherboard only to find that the PC wouldn't post. spent many hours troubleshooting, then RMA'd for another one, which didn't post either!

Although Im pretty good at troubleshooting, what are the odds of 2 dead boards?? spent more time troubleshooting, then RMA'd the 2nd board and bought a competitor board which works great. All-in-all, I spent 2 1/2 weeks, plus 20.00 to ship the boards back to newegg..would not recommend this product from ASRock

Manufacturer Response:

Rating: 2/5?? ASRock QC ??

Cons: Ordered 3 of these for a few company builds. The first build works great. Build 2 and 3, both boards have a defective Dimm slot - same slot on each. Fortunately Newegg is great with returns. ASRock however needs better quality control. Haven't had issues in the past, but was hoping to have all systems up today, now I wait.........

Manufacturer Response:
